Dez. 28 `39 Hood goes down

Actually I think Hood must have seen my torps early and was beginning to turn and accelerating so my aims wandered to the stern. The bow shot in the first attack exploded ca. under the conning tower, the shot between the stacks may have exploded at the stern behind Y-Turret. I think this one could have killed the screws on this side, slowing her down. The stern shot most likely was off, as I forgot to open the tube first.

I don`t think there were any lethal hits each on it`s own as I didn`t see any secondary explosions or such. All shots were with impact pistol active, depth set to 8,5 m btw.

In GWX 1.03 I sank KGV with 2 eels on magentic pistol btw, one under the the bow turrets, one between the stacks. She immediatly went down within minutes.

edit: But to be honest, IRL I wouldn`t have had a big chance for a second or third attack as the DDs should have stayed with the crippled BC. That near to the coast even Air support would have been called in to defend the ship.
